 Now , we need to create value set for each segment defined above.

 VALUE SET 1: XX_JOB_CODE_VS

Select the create Flex field ‘XX_DEMO_JOB_KFF’  and check box ‘Freeze Flex field Definition ‘ , which then displays a Caution message as below. Click ‘OK’ to continue. Then click on ‘Compile ‘ Button , which then displays a successfully compilation message.                                                                                                                                                  

5.  Now , change the application by closing the window and select  Application à Validation à Values to search for the Value Set created above.             Search with XX_JOB_CODE_VS and click on Find button to open the values form to enter the values as below .

7.  Also Check Mark the ‘ Allow Dynamic Inserts ‘ Box and save the record.

8. Change the responsibility to Human Resource  à Work Structure à Job à Job Group.                                             Here we need to create a Job Group name. And select the ‘XX_DEMO_JOB_KFF’ in the Job Flex Field Structure .                And Save the record.                                                                                                                                         

                                                                           

9. Change the application form to Work  Structure à Job à Description to get the jobs which are defined under this combination.

10. In order to user this Job Key Flex Field to a altogether new Business Group .First we need to create a location for the Business Group.                                                                                                                                                     Navigation : HRMS à Work Structure àLocation               

                                                       

11. Now we can create a Business Group which links to the above location.                                                                          Navigation : Work Structure à Organization à Description                                                                                  Name : Test Demo Corp Business Group                                

                And attach the location created in the below step under the location field and save the record.                        Next select the Business Group Name under  ‘Organization Classification ‘ and save the record.

12. Click on ‘Others ‘ Button and select ‘Business Group Info ‘ field and click on the field. Here we give all the Key Flex fields which we defined and are specific to this business group.  We select all the fields by default and only for ‘Job  Flex Field Structure ‘ we give the Job Flex Field which  we have created above name

13. Create a responsibility ( in similar with the functionality of HRMS ) . Named it as TEST_DEMO_HR1.Navigation : System Administrator à Security àResponsibility à Define

14. Navigate to System Administrator àProfile à System .                                                                                                         Enter the responsibility created TEST_DEMO_HR1 under the responsibility and HR Security for Profile and select the Find button.  Then enter the Business Group ( XX_SAMPLE_BUSINESS_GROUP) created above for Hr Security profile field under Responsibility and SAVE the record. The purpose of this is to attach the Business Group to a particular responsibility and then use this responsibility for the Job Key Flex Field. Next Attach this responsibility to the user  ( with which we log into ).

15. Switch the responsibility to TEST_DEMO_HR1 .Navigate to Work Structure à Job à Description .     

Select New  .  Job Group comes by default and once we click on Name , the Key Flex Field which we created namely XX_DEMO_JOB_KFF . And select job code  and job title values and save the record.

16. Navigate to the People à Enter and Maintain Form and create a new employee .

17. Once in the assignment form , here we get the Job KFF Which we have created and also entered into.
